abstract: Coordination of Breast Cancer Care Between Radiation Oncologists and Surgeons: A Survey Study
Coordination of Breast Cancer Care Between Radiation Oncologists and Surgeons: A Survey Study:
Purpose:
To assess whether radiation oncologists and surgeons differ in their attitudes regarding the local management of breast cancer, and to examine coordination of care between these specialists.
Conclusions:
Despite the widespread availability of tumor boards, a substantial minority of radiation oncologists indicated other providers failed to include them in the breast cancer treatment decision-making process early enough. Earlier inclusion of radiation oncologists may influence patient decisions, and interventions to facilitate this should be considered.
